Brown Girl Jane—first Black woman-owned fine fragrance brand to launch at Sephora—is expanding its eau de parfum range with High Tea, a warm floral scent that fuses French patisserie and afternoon chai rituals.
This East-meets-West scent, which reminds of a luxury bakery, shares notes of French madeleines and macarons, spiced pink chai, orange flower water, freesia, whipped milk, amber and sweet biscotti. Together, these elements create a scent that is both grounding and uplifting. Influenced by soul-soothing global tea traditions, High Tea by Brown Girl Jane creates a serene and aromatic journey across cultures.
The gourmand teatime fragrance appeals to those who delight in comforting, near-edible notes and scents that feel as cozy and sophisticated as a luxurious afternoon treat.
